Eva has killed a man. After enduring misogynistic violence and financial precarity for decades, a frustrated white male psychologist asks her, “Why?” He gives her a tape recorder and her first-person account carries the film back into a series of sequences that foreground the quotidian commingling of sex and violence leading up to the murder.

The programmer would like to thank David Byrd for his help in obtaining a digital version of the film, whose original print is badly damaged.
